The Seahawks coach turns 72 in four weeks. On Thursday, he played quarterback at practice. He was nimble. He was spry. He ran. He threw. He flung it across his body, no-look style. He scrambled. It was amazing. It’s an inspiration to the rest of us who either are that age — or eventually will be, if we’re lucky. That’s right, punk. You too will eventually get old. If you live that long. And there are plenty of things that suck about getting older. But it’s always better than the alternative. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/pete-carroll-71-can-still-move-and-throw one of the rare times i've agreed with Florio, lol.... I will be 63 in January. I have lost nearly 90 lbs of fat. I walk at least 4 miles a day plus an hour of strength training 6 days a week. Other than some pesky arthritis in my feet, I am in the best shape of my life since my mid 30's when I was a distance runner. I am probably to short (5' 7.5")to play QB for the Vikings, but I could get you 3 tough yards as a rb, sneaking underneath all those tall linemen!!!

SemperFeist Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If a player is an 8 time All Pro (5 time 1st team, 3 time 2nd team) and a 10 time pro bowler, with 3 Super Bowl rings, is that player a Hall of Famer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I would probably be comfortable saying yes. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Just like Adam Vinatieri and. eventually, Justin Tucker. I don’t know that anyone can dispute that Slater is the best special teamed of the generation. It’s a big part of the game and he was, by far, the best for a very long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The NFL has brought back the third quarterback rule. This time, however, it has some new tweaks. For starters, the third quarterback must be on the 53-man roster. This could prompt plenty of teams to never utilize it. As to the teams that do, they’ll be permitted to dress the third quarterback without having him count against the game-day limit. And the third quarterback can enter only if the two other quarterbacks are not available, due to injury or ejection. On Monday, the league sent a memo to all teams elaborating on the rules. For example, the player must be a “bona fide” quarterback, not a player at some other position, to be the emergency quarterback. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-outlines-procedure-for-using-third-quarterback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) KAM can trade for him for a nickel...or how about just a 2026 7th rd pick, since that's about all he's worth now. Edited August 23, 2023 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I'd deal a 5th or later. Why not take the chance? Mullens will never be good, and Lance is 2 years younger than Hall. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The loser of the competition with Darnold did not take the field with the rest of the team once that practice session got underway. According to multiple reports, Trey Lance is not in attendance for the team’s final workout before Friday night’s preseason finale against the Chargers. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/trey-lance-isnt-at-49ers-practice-wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really the only guy I was interested in at QB this year. I think it's a little early for him to start, but we'll see how it goes over the season. I see his stats from last night, and while he led them to 3 scores (against a backup defense), that passing line is Ponder-esque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some dime, tight-window throws that his receivers just... dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
